Ouyang Zhen had a bit of a headache. He felt that it was actually quite good that the Emperor was unconscious.
"You decide what to do. Giving him some spring water is fine too!"
Forget it, no matter what he did in the past, he's still his father, his own flesh and blood. Anyway, he's already registered as emperor, so as for his father, when he's obedient, let him live a peaceful retirement; when he's disobedient, find a courtyard, lock him up, and let him play by himself in there.
The Emperor woke up three days later. The Empress Dowager asked the imperial physicians, who were extremely cautious, but naturally they would not allow the late Emperor to drink alcohol. Han Luoxue also secretly had someone feed him some spiritual spring water, and unexpectedly, the effect was quite good.
When they heard that the Emperor had woken up, Ouyang Zhen, Han Luoxue, the Empress Dowager, and Ouyang Qing also went over.
The little guy is only six years old this year. He is also well-behaved and sensible. His mother is not of high status and had a very low profile when she was in the palace.
Firstly, because he is young, and secondly, because he is too low-key; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to grow up peacefully.
"What is this...?"
The Emperor recalled the scene before he fell unconscious, his eyes fixed on Ouyang Zhen: "Over in Xishu..."
He still remembered that it was because of Xi Shu's matter, and also because his son didn't care. Otherwise, how could he have fainted from anger?
"We've already sent someone over!"
"Who was sent?"
It's really tough on him; even while unconscious, he was still thinking about Xishu. It seems this emperor isn't all that mediocre after all.
Han Luoxue thought to herself.
"Don't overthink it. Zhen'er has already made arrangements over there, everything will be fine! You should focus on getting better first!"
The Empress Dowager comforted him, but the late Emperor's gaze shifted. He looked at Ouyang Zhen's attire, and his pupils contracted sharply: "This is..."
"Ouyang Zhen, you actually ascended the throne while I was unconscious?"
He was a bit frustrated. He had only been unconscious for a short while, and when he woke up, he had lost his throne!
"Otherwise what? A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day, and I have no choice but to do so!"
Seeing the late emperor's gloomy expression, Ouyang Zhen felt much better.
This old man used to trip him up a lot, and now all I can say is he deserves it!
"you……"
The emperor was so angry he almost fainted!
The imperial physician quickly gave him two acupuncture needles, and the Empress Dowager comforted him, saying, "Alright, you've worked hard for most of your life, it's time for you to rest! Besides, Zhen'er is much more efficient at handling things than you. Just focus on getting better and enjoying your grandchildren, isn't that fun? You probably haven't met Zhuangzhuang and Mengmeng yet, have you? The two little ones are adorable. Once you're feeling better, you can spend more time with them!"
The late emperor... he can accompany me even when he becomes emperor!
After everyone had left, the late emperor asked Eunuch Wei about everything that had happened recently. When he heard that Han Luoxue had saved him, he felt that Ouyang Zhen had done it on purpose!
Even though Han Luoxue had the medicine to save him, he still waited until after he ascended the throne to take action. What a brat!
"What about the Empress and Ouyang Fu?"
It must be really hard for the Emperor to remember his former Crown Prince at this time.
Eunuch Wei hesitated for a moment, then the late emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Those two, aren't they?"
"This old servant doesn't know either! That day, after His Highness the Crown Prince returned, he didn't mention anything about the former Crown Prince and the Empress. The Empress Dowager also sent people to inquire, but they heard there was still no news!"
The late emperor looked somewhat disappointed; in fact, it was obvious without even thinking that the two of them were likely in grave danger.
He didn't necessarily want to save them; he just didn't have many children and wanted to spare their lives.
"Well, alright, I know they went a bit too far. No news is no news! It's better than knowing they're dead!"
As for Meng Qing, no one knew where she had gone or whether the child in her womb was still there. This remained a great mystery.
...
"Oh dear, weren't you out enjoying yourself? Why do you know to come back?"
When the Fifth Madam was sent back to the Meng family, she knew she wouldn't have a good outcome, but as soon as she entered the door, she was pressed down and made to lie on the ground.
Looking at the aloof Madam Meng, the Fifth Madam looked dejected.
"You do have a foxy look, and your daughter is just like you. Do you think you can rest easy just because you've climbed the social ladder by marrying the former crown prince?"
Supported by her maid, Madam Meng walked over, a slight smile playing on her lips. She slowly knelt down in front of Fifth Madam, raised her hand, and lifted Fifth Madam's chin: "Just because I call you Fifth Madam, you really think you're a madam?"
Madam Meng chuckled, raised her slender hand, and slapped that still exquisite face repeatedly, the sound of which was exceptionally crisp.
Everyone around had their heads down and didn't dare to say a word.
Perhaps because she already disliked this Fifth Madam, Madam Meng slapped her more than a dozen times before shaking her hand and sneering:
"That's really shameless."
The Fifth Madam raised her head; she hadn't even dared to dodge just now. She knew she wouldn't have a good time back, but she hadn't expected Madam Meng to be so ruthless.
Actually, she didn't want to live anymore. Her daughter was gone, her fate unknown, and she didn't even know if she was alive. As for the child in her womb, there was no hope of survival.
She used to think that with the Empress protecting her, no matter what the Crown Prince did, she and her daughter would be safe. But now…
She didn't want to live anymore, but she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to go out and find her daughter, no matter if she was dead or alive, because she only had this one son.
But the people in the palace sent her back directly.
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how could my Yao Yao be like this?"
Madam Meng was truly heartbroken; that was her favorite daughter.
"Madam, I am also heartbroken, my Qing'er..."
"Guards, slap him! Beat him to death!"
Hearing that this slut dared to mention that vile woman, Madam Meng became even angrier.
The old woman beside her rushed over and slapped Madam Meng across the face repeatedly. The old woman was a hard-working woman who was much stronger than Madam Meng.
Within a dozen or so strokes, blood began to appear at the corners of Madam Meng's mouth, and her cheeks swelled up.
"You bitch, it's an honor for Yao Yao to take a liking to your daughter and help her, how dare she have other ideas?"
The Fifth Madam felt wronged and only hoped to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Hmph, you and your wretched daughter deserve to die."
"Still want to go out and look for your daughter? Your daughter is long dead."
"What did you say?"
The Fifth Madam, who had not resisted at all, suddenly began to struggle. Her face was already distorted and her mouth was cut. She was in great pain when she spoke, but she still could not believe that her daughter was really dead.
"Your wretched daughter is long dead."
"Haha, dead, long dead."
Madam Meng laughed heartily. Her daughter was dead, and this wretched woman's daughter wouldn't live either!
snort!
"Enough! Aren't you ashamed enough, Mother?"
